Dusk is approaching.
Is and his group have successfully arrived at the Valley of the Gods.
The construction of Valley of the Gods was actually quite similar to that of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
It could even be said that it is the second Mary Geoise.
As soon as we disembarked, a group of World Government personnel hurried over.
“You’ve worked hard, great Bernard Issaint. From today onwards, I will be your advisor and bodyguard, responsible for your safety,” one of the men in a black suit said first.
"Advisor and bodyguard?"
East paused, finding it somewhat amusing. Putting aside his own strength, just considering Uchiha Madara and the others, as long as he wasn't the world's enemy, who could hurt him?
"Yes, Lord Bernard Issa."
"Forget it, what can you do with that build?" Is replied.
“Don’t underestimate me, Lord Bernard Issain. I was originally a vice admiral in the Navy, but due to special circumstances, I was transferred by the World Government to protect the Celestial Dragons,” the man in the black suit said with a hint of confidence.
Don't you read the newspaper?
The man in the black suit shook his head. He was wholeheartedly devoted to managing the Celestial Dragons and rarely paid attention to outside affairs. The Celestial Dragons of God Valley also rarely read newspapers.
Therefore, he knew nothing about what was happening in the new world.
“Alright, it’s not your fault. Your task now is to take me to where I live, and then you’ll be free,” Is said calmly.
Seeing the change in Is's expression, the man in the black suit wisely refrained from saying anything more.
“Lord Bernard Issa, what kind of ride would you like to take back?”
As the man in the black suit spoke, he pointed to a spot not far away where a row of burly slaves stood, each with a small chair strapped to its back.
To the right of these slaves were carts, pulled not by animals, but by humans.
Is glanced at it and felt that it was too troublesome and not his style.
To be honest, taking these trains back is not as convenient as walking back.
"No need, you just need to arrange for someone to help me move my things."
"Well... alright, please come with me. I'll arrange for everything on the ship to be delivered to your castle shortly."
Soon after, led by the man in the black suit, Is arrived at his residence, a castle much larger than the one he had in Mary Geoise.
They even looked much more impressive. After arriving at their residence, Is arranged rooms for everyone, and then left everything else to Rhodes Minian.
As for Is, he went outside for a stroll. To be honest, he just wanted to see if he could discover the secret of the Valley of the Gods. But clearly, after wandering around for a long time, he didn't find anything at all, let alone any secret.
Today is Is's first time visiting God Valley. Many Celestial Dragons have come to visit him, but Is has turned them all away.
Having just arrived, there was already a lot to do, and Is didn't have time to waste chatting with them. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for him to enjoy a good night's sleep?
····
The next morning, Is got up early to cultivate, because cultivation is something he couldn't neglect.
"Ding! Your Observation Haki has reached its maximum level! Advance now?"
Is paused slightly, but wasn't too surprised.
"Is it finally time for Observation Haki?"
Last time, it was Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki; this time, the Observation Haki has reached its maximum level of compatibility.
Without much hesitation, Is replied immediately, "Advance."
"Ding, advancement successful."
As soon as the system finished speaking, a whole new set of memories flooded into Is's mind.
Undoubtedly, this brand-new memory is a more advanced form of Observation Haki.
"Can we see the future briefly? That's not bad."
As he was speaking, a brand new attribute panel appeared in front of Is.

Just as Is was engrossed in watching, a maid's voice came from behind him.
"Master, according to the World Government, there are no newspapers in God Valley. If you need newspapers, you will need to go to the islands near God Valley."
Is turned around, paused for a few seconds, and then instructed, "Have Tornado go with her and bring the newspaper back."
I recommend a friend's book, *Sailing the Seas: Starting as a Hashirama Template*. The author, nicknamed "Tentacle Monster," updates at least eight chapters a day. If you're interested, check it out. If you like it, please support him; flowers and other virtual gifts are welcome.
Chapter 116
Although he has no worries about food and clothing, Is still concerned about what's happening outside.
“Yes, Master, I’ll go tell Lady Tornado right away.” The maid nodded, then turned and left, while Is continued his training.
Holy Land Marie Gioia.
Steelbone Kong received a summons from the Five Elders early in the morning.
When he arrived at the main hall, the Five Elders were already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
On the table in front of them lay the newspapers they had just received that day.
"Why are you in such a hurry to see me? What happened?" Kong walked to the table and asked in confusion.
"You can read the newspaper on the table yourself."
The bald old man leaned against the sofa, his voice sounding very low.
Although Steelbone Kong doesn't yet know what happened, he's certain it's a bad thing.
Sure enough, after he picked up the newspaper and glanced at it, his face instantly stiffened.
"The resurrection of Rocks, the sea tyrant? A world government deceiving the world?"
The newspaper article clearly states that Rocks is not dead. Previously, the World Government claimed that the Rocks Pirates were destroyed and that Rocks and several of his officers perished at sea.
The blame is now being placed on the World Government. The false report of Rocks' death is intended to showcase the World Government's power, and they are willing to conceal the truth and deceive the entire world.
"Rocks isn't dead???"
Kong was also shocked, his gaze fixed on the five elders on the sofa.
"You're asking us? We'd like to ask you the same thing! Didn't your naval report say that Rocks had perished at sea? What's going on? Has he been resurrected???"
Kong looked completely innocent; he was also an unsuspecting victim, because when he and the previous Fleet Admiral arrived at the battlefield, it had already turned into the ocean.
After a long search, only some remnants of the Rocks Pirates were found, but Rocks' body was nowhere to be found. Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to have survived, so the Navy concluded that Rocks was dead.
"The newspapers all say that Rocks isn't dead, so he really isn't dead," Kong said helplessly. He was also helpless.
"Do you know how much influence this newspaper has on our world government, and even affects cooperation among member states?" the bald old man said in a deep voice.
"It's not just that. This matter directly affects the reputation of our world government, and will make major powers think that our world government is full of liars," the old man with the knife added.
Steel Bone listened intently, remaining silent.
And so, they talked for almost half an hour.
"Forget it, there's no point in saying anything more now. After all, this has little to do with you; it's a mess left over from the previous admiral."
Kong looked aggrieved. Good heavens, not to mention the Five Elders, he had completely forgotten that he had only recently been promoted to Fleet Admiral, and that the reporting of Rocks' death was done by the previous Fleet Admiral.
At this moment, he really wanted to say, "After all that cursing, you can't find the previous Fleet Admiral, so you're taking it out on the current one?"
"What do you plan to do? Lox, who had been keeping a low profile, has suddenly resurfaced; there must be a plan behind it."
"Yes, yes. Your analysis is correct." Steel Bone Kong nodded in agreement and continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, Rocks suddenly resurfaced because of the pirate escape from the Navy prison. He wanted to use this method to convey to his crew that the Rocks Pirates were not destroyed and that their captain is still alive."
"So... you know what to do?"
"Prevent the Rocks Pirates' executives and members from returning to the pirate crew."
"There is no time to lose. I believe that the cadres and members scattered in various places have already seen this newspaper and are rushing to meet up with Lockes. So, you should also set off quickly and not let their plan succeed."
And just as the Five Elders had predicted, when the Rocks Pirates' officers learned that their captain was not dead, some were overjoyed, while others who had always been unwilling to be subordinate to others were upset.
Because he didn't know whether to return or not. If he didn't return, the Rocks Pirates could regain their former glory. If he stood out and formed his own pirate crew, he would face being hunted down.
Although they didn't want to return, just in case, many of them still went to the island reported in the newspaper to reunite with Rocks.
On a certain island in the new world.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
A newspaper was chopped into countless pieces, and the last, larger piece was stuck into the ground by a long knife.
"What the hell? What the hell?!"
The golden lion roared to the sky, filled with resentment.
"I've already thought of a name for my own pirate crew, and you're telling me Rocks isn't dead yet? Not dead???"
Yes, he has spent most of his time these days working on the ship's design drawings. All that's left is to rob a bank to build the ship and then start recruiting partners.
However, reality dealt him a severe blow. All his previous efforts were in vain. Now that Lockes had summoned him back, he... had no choice but to return.
The golden lion picked up the long sword from the ground again and swung it repeatedly at the sea, sending sword energies flying towards the surface, causing the sea to churn.
